Once you have both successfully installed your KNX installation with ETS Inside and installed your smartphone or tablet with the ETS Inside client, you can establish a connection between your mobile device and the KNX installation. The recommended route is to:• set the connection to Auto• choose the project connection you would like to establish to start or

continue commissioning the KNX InstallationAlternatively, you can also connect to the installation manually.

1 A special feature of this new tool is that ETS Inside is part of the installation. It’s a tool that comes in handy for KNX devices. Simply install the KNX ETS Inside-enabled device of your choosing in your project and you are ready to start operations. Alternatively, you can use a mini-computer (e. g. Raspberry Pi, Intel NUC, etc.). Install ETS Inside on this computer and connect it to your installation via USB or KNXnetIP.

Integrate ETS Inside with your installation

Since all devices have now been properly allocated, you can now get started linking channels to functions or groups. You can also use ETS Inside to adjust parameters during initial commissioning or after the project has been final-ised. And once everything has been setup, you can download the settings to your KNX devices!

In ownership mode, the end user will be able to make small personal modifications, which have been enabled in advance by the installer – just one more new and revolutionary function of the ETS Inside.Has the project been created by the end user? If so, it goes without saying that the user is free to remain in “installer” mode and make desired changes to the installation with full functionality.
